I'm not in the loop here, WHAT!! :eekbig:
I don't know you MEK, but lets talk this out.
One frustrated day, I sold my Charger because I needed money to pay off my Jeep, seemed right at the time.
I spent $25,000 of 1980'ds money on it and I wasn't satisfied with how it ended up.
I sold it for $4,500. in 95.
My reason was sound, I keeped convincing myself, but the truth was buried in my head.
I had no direction in what I wanted it to be, a street car or drag car, it was half a$$. I had no money to fix it again, or the time.
Pure frustration came to a head one day. It keeped overheating even with a new 4 core radiator. I checked everything, even pulled the heads off, checked the water pump, fans, (I put a electric fan in front), thermostat, what the hell.
I put manual steering in it for the drags, it sucked. The brakes even brand new 11' I couldn't stop the 4080lb monster. You needed to bench press 300lb to stop.
I was an old car even after the money I spent on it.
Aftermarked stuff was not available for B bodies like today, plus the internet suport. OMG it's heaven today.
As it drove off with another person behind the wheel, I knew I made a big mistake.
I know now that it was me not the car that was the problem, the original car that mother Dodge made was perfect.
I put to much demands on it, and I didn't know everything. But from a High School kid to mid 20 somthing it taught me many life lessons.
Controling passion, thinking things out, my mechanical abilities, understanding problems, self-esteem, pride, and my ego.
If I had it today I would take the R/T drive train out and restore it back to stock. Then I'd buy a Charger R/T body and rebuild it to somewhat stock.
The fun never stops, it's only money. What else is there??
